The thin eyebrow trend of the 90s left many of us with overplucked, sparse brows that never seemed to grow back. If you’ve been struggling with patchy or thin eyebrows, you might be wondering: Can my brows actually recover? Restore your natural brows!
At The Wink Lab, we’re not just lash experts—we’re licensed professional brow artists who specialize in helping clients restore their natural brows through safe treatments, growth boosters, and advanced cosmetic techniques. Restore your natural brows!
Let’s break down everything you need to know about eyebrow regrowth and how we can help you achieve the full, fluffy brows of your dreams.

Key ttakeaways to restore your natural brows
Eyebrows can grow back if the follicles are not permanently damaged.
Most people see regrowth within 3–4 months with proper care.
Overplucking for years can cause permanent damage, but professional treatments like microblading or brow lamination can restore fullness.
Nutrition, hydration, and brow boosters like serums play a huge role in regrowth.
At The Wink Lab, we design personalized brow recovery plans to get you results.
Do Overplucked Eyebrows Grow Back? Restore your natural brows!
Good news—yes, they usually do! Brow hairs follow a four-stage growth cycle (growth, transition, resting, and shedding). Unlike the hair on your head, brow hair grows for only about 4 months at a time before resting.
That’s why patience is key. If your brows have been overplucked, it may take up to 3–4 months to see noticeable regrowth. However, if follicles have been repeatedly damaged over the years, some areas may need professional help to look full again.
Natural Methods to Help Your Brows Grow Back
If your brows aren’t filling in as quickly as you’d like, here are some natural ways to boost regrowth:
Stop Plucking & Waxing: Let those stray hairs live! They’re part of your new brow shape.
Eat a Hair-Healthy Diet: Foods rich in biotin, omega-3s, and protein (like eggs, salmon, spinach, and nuts) fuel strong growth.
Stay Hydrated: Water keeps your follicles nourished.
Use Brow Boosters: Growth serums, castor oil, and coconut oil can help stimulate follicles.
Massage Your Brows: A quick daily massage increases blood flow to feed the hair roots.
At The Wink Lab, we also recommend professional brow boosters designed specifically to speed up brow density and thickness.
Professional Treatments for Brow Regrowth
Sometimes, natural methods aren’t enough—especially if your follicles are weak or scarred. That’s where our licensed brow artists come in with advanced treatments to recover the look of your brows:
Hybrid Brow Tint: Long-lasting tint that gives the appearance of fuller brows for 4–6 weeks.
Brow Lamination: Restructures brow hairs for a lifted, fluffy look.
Microblading, Powder, Nano, or Combo Brows: Semi-permanent tattoo techniques that mimic natural hair strokes or create a soft powdered effect.
Brow Waxing & Shaping: Once your brows grow in, we sculpt them into the perfect shape for your face.
We also help you choose the right growth serums and aftercare so your brows don’t just look better—they actually get healthier.

When to See a Specialist
If your brows haven’t shown progress after 4–6 months, it may be time to see a professional. Factors like thyroid issues, autoimmune conditions, nutritional deficiencies, or aging can slow or stop brow growth.
Our licensed team at The Wink Lab can help you determine if your brows are simply taking time to recover—or if professional treatments like microblading or brow boosters are the best solution.
Important Note
Overplucking for years can cause permanent follicle damage. If that’s the case, natural methods may not fully restore your brows. But don’t worry—we have cosmetic solutions that create natural, fuller-looking brows you’ll love.

FAQ: Brow Regrowth
How long does it take for eyebrows to grow back?On average, it takes 3–4 months for brows to fully regrow due to the natural hair growth cycle. Some people may see new growth in just 2–3 weeks, while others may need longer depending on health, age, and follicle condition.
What’s the best product to help eyebrows grow back?At The Wink Lab, we recommend brow growth serums formulated with peptides, biotin, or minoxidil. Castor oil can also support healthier brows, but professional-grade serums give faster, more visible results.
Can permanently damaged brows grow back?If follicles have been scarred from years of overplucking or medical conditions, natural regrowth may not be possible. In these cases, we offer solutions like microblading, powder brows, and nano brows to create the appearance of fuller, natural-looking brows.
What’s the safest way to shape brows while they regrow?Avoid tweezing or over-waxing during regrowth. Instead, visit a licensed brow artist at The Wink Lab for professional shaping that enhances your natural growth without damaging follicles.
Do I need a consultation before starting brow treatments?Yes! A consultation ensures we understand your brow goals and recommend the right treatment plan—whether that’s natural regrowth support, lamination, tinting, or semi-permanent solutions.
